• Collect and communicate all production details: templates, materials, dimensions, specs
• Source and manage quotes, estimates, and production timelines from vendors
• Review and proof final assets to ensure alignment with brand standards and retailer specs
• Coordinate production logistics: shipping, kitting, delivery, and installation timelines
• Partner with internal design, marketing, and retail teams, along with outside agencies and vendors
• Create and test new temporary retail displays, including in-store measurements and material validation
• Manage vendor contracts, performance, and procurement processes
• Provide regular updates to stakeholders, including daily and weekly progress reports
• Track and manage POs, invoices, and overall production budgets
• Identify cost-saving opportunities across print and distribution channels
• Maintain accurate financial reporting for each project

Skills & Qualifications:
• 5–7 years of experience in print production management (materials, timelines, proofing, logistics)
• 3–4 years of experience in retail displays or in-store marketing production
• Proven success in vendor selection, cost negotiation, and project bidding
• Strong understanding of various print formats and substrates (offset digital, offset web, etc.)
• Highly organized with outstanding attention to detail and quality control
• Strong critical thinking skills; self-starter with a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Excellent communication and project reporting skills
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat) and Microsoft Office
• Familiarity with cloud-based project tracking tools and online proofing platforms is a plus
• Bachelor’s Degree required
• Minimum 2 years in mid- to senior-level project or production management

Preferred Experience:
• Extensive experience in managing end-to-end print production, including specifications, bidding, vendor oversight, fulfillment, mailing, and invoicing
